The ECW Mass Transit Incident is one of the darkest and true stories from the pro wrestling world. Below is an explanation from Wikipedia: "The ECW Mass Transit Incident was professional wrestling event that took place during an Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) house show on November 23, 1996, at Wonderland Ballroom in Revere, Massachusetts. 17-year-old Erich Kulas, an aspiring professional wrestler who used the ring name "Mass Transit," was seriously injured in a tag-team match against The Gangstas; the most severe injury occurred when Kulas was bladed too deeply by Jerome "New Jack" Young, severing two of his arteries. Further controversy arose when it came to light that Kulas lied to ECW owner and booker Paul Herman about his age and professional wrestling training."
The top image is of Kulas in that building, bleeding as the incident happened. The bottom image is the empty lot where the infamous building once stood. The photo was taken in June of 2023.
